The worlds of luxury desserts and fantasy have collided with the creation of a Game of Thrones-inspired cake that costs a whopping $25,000.
The Broadway Bakery Dubai crafted a design for a decadent dessert to coincide with the newly released season of the popular HBO series. The cake features the show's villainous star Tyrion Lannister perched on top of the 'Iron Throne,' an intricate design which is constructed entirely from sugar fondant and paste. The cake will be prepared by a team of chefs and is set to be 1.2 meters long, feeding up to 10 people.
Since its original release in 2011, Game of Thrones has maintained a cult-like following, acting as inspiration for a variety of novelty services and products. Currently, a Game of Thrones pop-up bar is traveling through the United States, contributing to the larger-than-life subculture that has spawned from the show.
